Desert Carnage: The Second Battle of Nanawa, July 1933 covers the three day battle between Bolivia and Paraguay during the long Chaco War. The Chaco War remains the only declared war among South American nations in the 20th Century. In brief, Bolivia wanted access to the Atlantic, and de-manded Paraguay cede territory. The earlier discoveries of minerals and oil by Shell and Standard Oil prompted both companies to pursue these objectives in concordance with the Bolivian government through the Chaco desert area. For Bolivia, access to the Atlantic would allow pro-jected oil pipelines to the Paraguay River to be built and allow for com-merce. The three day battle ended with the Bolivians surrounding but failing to seize Nanawa due to growing Paraguayan resistance (the Bolivians had no reserves), eventually both sides returned to their starting positions by the end of the third day.
